Chapter 222 âSlap!â The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the huge living room.
Ada fell to the carpet. She held her burning cheek and looked at Roger in disbelief, âDad, Dad, you hit me.â
of Roger lowered his trembling fingers and reprimanded, âYouâre disregarding human lives. If I donât teach you a lesson, youâll cause trouble sooner or later.
Ada covered her face and stood up, glaring at him with teary eyes. âThat was also caused by your inaction. How many days has it been? You still havenât dealt with Sophia, let alone made Jason agree to marry me. Now, I am the joke of Cester City. The outside world said that I was abandoned by a man while pregnant and was useless. I had wasted my prestige status as the daughter of the Watson Group. But what has this identity brought me? I might as well stay in the Taylor family. At least my adoptive parents wonât stand by and do nothingâ
With that, she ran for the stairs, crying Roger tried to give chase but was stopped by Renee. âDaddy, let me talk to her. Sheâs in a fit of anger now. Youâll only agitate her if you go overâ
Roger waved his hand. âGo ahead. Explain the situation to her Renee said, âYesâ
After watching Renee go upstairs, Roger looked at the middleâaged manâs face.
Although he did not forbid his subordinates from using tricks to get promotions, there had to be a limit to everything.
What happened today had clearly exceeded the limits of his patience.
He said, âT I wonât punis punish you. You used your power to harm others. Wait for the law to punish you.â
The middleâaged man slumped to the ground, his face ashen.
Of course, he was pretending. What Renee promised him was enough for him to live a luxurious life.
Under Rogerâs signal, the two bodyguards grabbed the middleâaged manâs arm and dragged him out.
Roger slumped back onto the sofa. As he massaged his eyebrows, he said, âSigh, that girlâs character is not good. If you didnât bring her back, I would even suspect if sheâs the Watson familyâs bloodline.â
Oliver sat down and nodded. âIâve repeatedly asked the medical team to confirm it. The results show that Ada is indeed your daughter, Roger laughed and shook his head. âYou donât have to be so serious. Iâm just complaining. Howâs Sophia?â
âShe is alright,â Oliver said calmly.
He thought. In any case, Sophia will not live for more than a few days. Whether she is injured or not will not change the fact that her life is about to come to an end. Perhaps she is right to be indifferent to death. It is extremely difficult to find a special heart that will be compatible with her. West and I have sent so many people to look for it, but there is still no news. Even West feels that there is little hope now. Sophia is definitely going to die!
âHow is your mother? Is she well?â Rogerâs question sounded in his ears again, pulling Oliver back from his trance.
He nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice, âFortunately, she returned to the country with me this time and is recuperating in the infirmary of Amanda.
Roger saw that he was in a daze and had a lot on his mind. After deliberating for a moment, he tried to persuade him.
âSophia is Jasonâs wife. Youâd better give up on that restless thought. Letâs not talk about others. Just your mother wonât agree to you being entangled with the Wilson familyâs daughterâinâlaw, Donât let yourself fall into a dilemma. Do you understand?â
Oliver did not respond. He did not understand how he felt about Sophia He thought, Do I consider her as a friend! Impossible! I would be crazy to make friends with Jasonâs woman. Is she a lover to me? Not at all! I am not angry that Jason has taken the woman away. Perhaps my feelings for her are something between sympathy and love. Maybe I can call her a confidant!
